What you should know
Water quality concerns: Some campgrounds have experienced water system issues. Recent reports from Miami Everglades RV Resort indicate serious problems: "The campground's well water contained fecal matter and was a potential source of E. coli. This failure to provide a safety warning ahead of time was irresponsible," warned Tom M.

Tips from RVers
RV site selection: Request sites away from high-traffic areas. At Miami Everglades, Nancy shared, "Upon arrival with numerous sites available, they put us in a spot almost on top of the sewage dump and dumpsters... After returning three times to say we just couldn't be in that spot for two weeks, they finally conceded."
Navigation challenges: Plan your route carefully when towing larger RVs. Mike M. advised about Southern Comfort RV Resort: "If heading south and coming off the FL Turnpike, you have to get over several lanes in a short distance to make the left turn on to Palm Drive."
Site surface variations: Be prepared for different ground conditions that may affect setup. Ioan P. noted about Southern Comfort: "No paver here everything is on dirt. Very cozy place, plenty of shades."
Arrival coordination: For late arrivals, contact the park in advance about check-in procedures. Mike M. found at Southern Comfort that when he "pulled in late, security guard was super helpful."
